The tragedy is that parents on CC (like myself) have the option of places where our children will go to college. There are different risks: drunken parties, long commutes in automobiles, mass gun killings that are very rare but which can occur anywhere, campuses adjacent to high crime urban neighborhoods. But we have choices not available to the great majority of folks who live in these high crime neighborhoods, who don’t have the option of safe streets.
That said, our D is looking at 2 LACs in a ‘safe’ suburban location.
